There being no objection, it was so ordered. With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all, I offer the following prayer. Dear Lord, thank you for another day to serve you. Keep us mindful of the needs of others; comfort and heal those who are sick, those who are in need, or those in any kind of trouble. We ask your blessings on all we do today. Grant us strength and courage as we seek to do your will. I ask this in your name. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Gruenberg. 2015-04-18 House Journal Page 1026 CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL Representative Millett moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the 88th legislative day be approved as certified by the Chief Clerk. There being no objection, it was so ordered. MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR HB 132 The following letter was dated and received April 17, 2015, at 3:35 p.m.: "Dear Speaker Chenault: Under the authority vested in me by Article II, Section 15 of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 132(L&C) "An Act relating to the purpose, powers, and duties of the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation related to the Alaska liquefied natural gas project and an in-state natural gas pipeline; relating to the in-state natural gas pipeline fund; and providing for an effective date." A key purpose of the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (Corporation) is to develop natural gas pipelines and other transportation mechanisms to deliver natural gas in-state for the maximum benefit of the people of Alaska and to provide revenue to the State. I object to the bill as contrary to the purposes of the Corporation and Alaska's interests. The bill would stifle the Corporation's ability to advance a viable backup option for a natural gas pipeline by limiting the ability of the Corporation to spend money or take any step to develop an in-state natural gas pipeline through which over 50 percent of gas is intended for export by the Corporation or another party, until the earliest of certain specified actions or July 1, 2017. This flaw cannot be fixed by simply adjusting the time barriers, because any barrier removes Alaska's leverage in the Alaska liquefied natural gas (AKLNG) negotiations and, at the same time, prevents 2015-04-18 House Journal Page 1027 consideration of a backup option. We cannot afford to proceed with blinders of our own making. To be forced to wait over two years to develop a viable backup plan would result in no backup plan at all. This is a risk I cannot accept. Additionally, CSHB 132(L&C) creates a limitation on Alaska marketing Alaska's gas. This limitation goes beyond the July 1, 2017 date with no end date on this restriction. Therefore, I am vetoing CSHB 132(L&C) because the bill would unnecessarily limit the ability of the State to have our own backup plan for a successful gas project that would provide energy to Alaska and revenues for Alaska's economic future. I will not subject Alaska to this risk in light of our budget situation. My veto does not hamper progress on an AKLNG project. Instead, my decision ensures the State can move forward in a manner consistent with the assurance that should AKLNG not proceed for any number of reasons, Alaska has a legitimate backup plan in place. We remain diligent in our efforts to move forward on the AKLNG project as our first priority. My decision to veto CSHB 132(L&C) does not impede the advancement of the AKLNG project. Instead, my decision will allow the State to move forward, as any responsible project developer would; by preserving flexibility to develop and negotiate the best result for the state. For these reasons, I have vetoed CSHB 132(L&C). Sincerely, /s/ Bill Walker Governor" REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES SB 15 The Labor & Commerce Committee considered: SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL NO. 15 "An Act relating to the tax on policy year premiums for life insurance policies." 2015-04-18 House Journal Page 1028 The report was signed by Representative Olson, Chair, with the following individual recommendations: Do pass (2): Tilton, Olson No recommendation (4): LeDoux, Hughes, Kito, Josephson The following fiscal note(s) apply: 1.
